T-splines for Rhino

T-spline for Rhino is not one of those products that gets really supported here. Its not a common Autodesk product. I found information but its confusing. One article I found on T-spline states to go to the normal Autodesk Educational Community and request it but I don't see it there.

Create and edit fluid, organic shapes for design and manufacturing

A major part of this article is a summary of the T-splines manual, which can be downloaded at the T-splines website.

T-splines is a fully integrated Rhino plugin that adds several new workflows and tools to generate free-form surfaces, and brings polygonal modeling to Rhino. T-splines are compatible with traditional CAD NURBS technology and offers improvements in flexibility, editabillity and ease-of-use. T-Splines can be used to create an entire model, or it can be used to add organic components to Rhino models.

Students can install T-splines for Rhino through the Autodesk Education Community.

T-splines polygonal modeling

In 3D computer graphics, polygonal modeling is an approach for modeling objects by representing their surfaces using polygons. The basic object used in polygonal modeling is a vertex, a point in three dimensional space. Two vertices connected by a straight line become an edge. Three vertices, connected to each other by three edges, define a triangle, which is the simplest polygon. Four sided polygons (generally referred to as quads) and triangles are the most common shapes used in polygonal modeling. A group of polygons which are connected together by shared vertices is referred to as a mesh.

T-spline surfaces can be viewed as boxy meshes or as smooth surfaces. The T-spline mesh is really just a fast, simple, unsmoothed way to visualize the T-spline; when a T-spline is displayed as a boxy mesh, it is in “box mode.”

T-splines toolbar

Once T-Splines for Rhino is installed, a T-Splines toolbar will appear. This toolbar can be docked with other Rhino toolbars. Additional toolbars will appear by clicking and holding on each of the buttons. If the toolbar is lost, it can be recovered by typing “Toolbar” in the Rhino command line, and selecting “T-Splines” from the toolbar list.

Creating T-spline surfaces

There are six ways to generate a T-spline surface. T-spline surfaces can be created from a primitive, from a control polygon of lines, from lofting curves, and from skinning a network of curves. T-spline surfaces can also be generated by conversion from NURBS and conversion from polygon meshes. Each approach can be used for either creating a complete model or just for making a base model for further editing. All the create options can be found in the create toolbar.

Creating T-splines from a basic shape (primitive)

One way to begin a model is by using primitives. These are basic geometric figures that can be edited and combined to create complex models. There are seven T-spline primitive shapes: box, plane, sphere, cylinder, cone, torus, and quadball. Click on the small triangle in the lower right corner of the primitives button to open the primitives toolbar.

Creating T-splines from lines

The tsFromLines command provides a way to make complex surfaces with predictable results. It can be used to create custom primitives that are closer to the desired final shape than the default primitives. It can generate a closed or an open single surface, rectangular or not, with holes, creases, and all kinds of different topologies.

Creating T-splines by lofting curves

Lofting a T-spline surface can be useful for creating surfaces that contain varying amounts of detail because of the ability it has to include T-points (partial rows of control points). This keeps control points out of areas where they are not necessary and can make for easier editing. The number of control points in the T-spline lofted surface is determined by each curve.

Fit a T-spline to curves

The tsSkin command introduces a way to make organic models, even with holes and appendages, as a single smooth surface, in one operation. tsSkin fits a surface to curves. tsFromLines presents a similar workflow to tsSkin; it takes line segments as an input and creates a surface from the control polygon points rather than fitting a surface to the curves. Because tsSkin is sometimes difficult to control, it is not a recommended workflow for beginners. However, tsSkin can be a powerful surface-creation tool.

Convert a NURBS or mesh to T-splines

Converting an untrimmed NURBS surface, Rhino mesh, or .obj file to a T-spline with the tsConvert command is a push-button operation. However, Not all NURBS and meshes are good candidates for conversion.

Trimmed NURBS converted to T-splines will lose their trimming information.

If converting a polysurface comprised of untrimmed NURBS, if possible, try to have the isoparameteric curves (isocurves) line up across patch boundaries. T-splines will be able to merge the NURBS together even if the isocurves don’t line up, but the resultant surface will be more manageable if you have flowing isocurves instead of irregular sections of chopped isocurves.

A high poly-count mesh may cause Rhino to crash, and if it doesn't, a dense mesh converted to a T-spline, is more difficult to edit.

By clicking the convert button with the right-mouse-button, the T-spline will be converted back to Rhino surfaces.

Editing T-spline surfaces

T-spline surfaces consist of faces, edges, and vertices, and can be displayed as a boxy mesh or as a smooth surface, similar to subdivision surfaces. T-spline surfaces can contain holes, creases, be open or closed, have local detail, be rectangular or non-rectangular, and contain triangles or n-sided faces, while being one unified surface. All T-spline surfaces in Rhino are degree 3.

Pushing and pulling the surface is done frequently when modeling with T-splines. T-spline surfaces can be edited by pushing and pulling its faces, edges, and/or vertices. T-splines has an “edit mode” inside Rhino that contains optimized tools for pushing and pulling the surface.

Turning edit mode on and off

Edit mode is turned on by clicking the green icon. You can also turn on edit mode by pressing CTRL+Spacebar. You can tell that edit mode is on because there will be a small T-Splines icon in the corner of your active viewport.

Manipulator: translate, rotate, scale

Manipulators allow you to quickly rotate, scale, and move parts of a model. The T-splines manipulators are similar to the Gumball in Rhino 5. The manipulators that come with the T-Splines plugin can be used on all T-Splines and Rhino objects, including NURBS and meshes. And the Gumball in Rhino 5 can be used in T-splines edit mode as well.

Face, edge, vertex grips

Rhino users are familiar with vertex grips, or control points. These grips can be moved to shape a curve or a surface, and T-spline surfaces have control points just as NURBS do. In addition, T-splines can be sha
